It was 1982 in Spain and four brothers had a vision – to create beautiful furniture environment that would be perfect for sybaritic, lazy afternoons lounging on a sofa in the sun; or for evenings enjoying tapas and Huevos rotos under the stars. LaForma was born and has since grown into an international industry leader in furniture and home decor, offering an extensive range of home furnishings and interior design accessories.

The ‘Vinny’ Sofa from LaForma

Australia is a unique match for LaForma’s relaxed aesthetic, with its fluid indoor-outdoor living and relaxed approach. With our sunny and temperate conditions reflecting the climate of Barcelona, LaForma has gone from strength to strength since launching on Antipodean shores in 2012. Their exceptional service and contemporary design has seen them become firmly entrenched in the market. Sara Hall from LaForma describes ‘Barcelona Living’ as:

‘Celebrating a modern urban lifestyle with family and friends, sharing food and drink, enjoying outdoor spaces and creating an environment to build treasured memories.’

Australian homes may also emphasise outdoor living but there is diversity in their design approach – which is why LaForma offer an eclectic range that give designers the ability to create varying spaces with interest and style.

“We believe that it’s all in the details. We incorporate a variety of materials and textures – including natural timbers, quilted fabric and stitching features, rope and ceramics – that make people want to touch, feel, connect to and fall in love with our pieces”, says Sara.

LaForma has an in-house design team based in Barcelona who have strong conceptual noses for how furniture should look. They do extensive research and development before embarking on the design process. The overarching philosophy of LaForma is to produce exceptionally designed products which are still accessible to the wider market.

LaForma’s Lobby Chairs

One of the keys to their success is exploring new technologies and materials; having the confidence to experiment with processes while ensuring quality through compliance to standards at every stage.

The current ‘Made in Spain’ collection is an excellent example of LaForma’s commitment to contemporary design, allied with quality, particularly the ‘Kopa’ and ‘Lobby’ accent chairs which have proved a hit with clients.

LaForma will be hosting a large exhibition at this year’s Australian International Furniture Fair and Decor + Design show in Melbourne and will be introducing new designs from the ‘Made in Spain’ collections, including the stunning ‘Vinny’ sofas and ‘Fyna’ armchairs. Composed of beautifully rich and layered fabrics with depth, the collection is a paean to luxury living.

With several colour options and accent stitching/piping details, the Barcelona Collection offers timeless design that enhances any room.
